Wow, choosing July’s banner was difficult with so many gorgeous graphics! As evidenced by the very close voting! I can now reveal that: banner one, banner two, and banner three were by
allisnow, banner four and banner eight were by
slytheringurrl, banner five was by
endeni, and banner six and banner seven were by
jacedesbff. And July’s banner is BANNER TWO! Thank you all for the pretties :D
And now for an extra special edition of our Community Banner Challenge. Keep reading, because we’re not just going to need graphics makers for this one. We’re going to need everyone, with your ideas hats on, because August (in a tease for other things to come) is PROMPTING MONTH.
August’s Challenge: In honour of another prompting type thing coming soon (keep your eyes peeled!) here’s how this month’s challenge is going to work: anyone and everyone can leave as many prompts as they like, a prompt being something they’d like to see in a banner, a certain style of banner, a song lyric, absolutely anything. Banners do have to contain Clint and Natasha, although they can contain other people as well, and they do need to be safe for work. You can post as many prompts as you like, but please post each prompt in it’s own separate comment. These comments will automatically be screened and your mods will unscreen them.
Banner makers will then post their banners in comments as responses to these prompts, in the usual manner, and these comments will remain screened until after voting to keep things anonymous so you won’t see a response to your prompts until after a banner for August has been chosen. FOR ONE MONTH ONLY, banner makers, there’s no limit for the amount of banners that you can make.
August Deadline: You can post prompts from now up until Sunday 21st July. Banners can be posted from now until Friday 26th July. (Then voting will be until Midnight GMT Wednesday 31st July. If we have many, many banners there may be rounds of voting or something. Watch this space.)
And the usual info:
Here’s how the banner challenge works: we set you a theme on the first of each month. People then make banners and comment with them to that month’s post – all comments will be screened; comments without banners in them will then be unscreened. (I can’t reply to the comments with banners in them without unscreening them, so anything you want a response to needs to be in a separate comment.) Banners will then all be saved to the community’s photobucket, so don’t worry about hotlinking or broken links. There will be a limit for sending banners in, something like two to three weeks. Then we’ll post all of the banners anonymously and everyone in the community can vote for their favourite (including the makers, but you do only get one vote each). That new banner is then our banner for the following month. Hopefully we’ll keep enough interest to be able to this monthly!
The Rules:
1) Everyone is invited to play, seriously, everyone, the more the merrier!
2) Banners must be safe for work.
3) Banners must have a width of 800 and a height of 350 and preferably be a png or jpg file.
4) We will make your banners anonymous, so please don’t tell or show anyone what you’ve made. Once the winner has been chosen though you’re free to share your banner wherever you like. (So, for example, if you make a banner for August’s challenge you’ll be free to do whatever you like with it from August 1st.)
5) When new films come out (Iron Man 3, Thor 2) please don’t use images from those until we say it’s safe so no one gets spoiled!
6) You can submit no more than 3 banners (for now).
As stated, all comments to this post will be screened. Comments that don’t contain banners will be unscreened. So feel free to ask questions, give us feedback, and all that jazz :)
